If I knew the answer to that one. Does it begin when we first start to raise our voices demanding behavioral perfection from the child. Maybe when we tell them that their dreams are unattainable because we couldn't or don't know anyone who has accomplished that dream. Or is it when we make them start to feel like "oh by the way items" when something more important has our attention or when we buy them the Xbox instead of My baby can read. These things may sound more trivial than the physical or sexual molestation, but just like those they can create low self esteem or feelings of "less than and not good enough" in a child. If one child can do something. Than God has not created another that cannot do the same thing. They may have to work harder, but they can do it. Parental or environmentally created low self esteem is the only thing that makes the former impossible. Where does it BEGIN?
REMEMBER: Banks and Children if you don't put anything in. Don't expect to get anything out.
I think that we are living in a time where some of our best solutions to what's going on is to simplify and lean on the wisdom of each other. I also believe that most of our solutions are spiritual in essence.
